Presidential appointments
Though there has been much debate regarding whether or not the President must get approval from the Senate to remove his appointments, I think that that is the best way to go. I guess you could say because the president initially instated the appointment it may make sense for him to dismiss the appointment on his own, however I disagree. I believe that in order to keep to our checks and balances throughout the branches, the President, though he does overall hold the most power, shouldn't get to decide who is and who is not qualified on his own. It is important that the Senate be behind the president to back him up in his decision, or disagree if he is in the wrong. I believe this is truly the best way to make sure those who hold powerful positions in our government are honest and qualified individuals. If we only have the president making this decision, there could be cases of favoritism or possibly a misjudgment of character.

I completely agree with what you are saying. I don't understand as to why this is even debated. I really don't think the president should be given this ultimate power. This is a democracy, and the senate definately should be given the power to remove his appointments.Because I don't think one man or woman should this much power in our government.
ReplyDeleteyeah, i dont understand why this is debated either. A president shouldnt be able to have ultimate power. thats outrageous. if he had ultimate power, it wouldnt be a democracy
ReplyDeletei totally agree, checks and keep the president in line, and all his/her actions should be checked by someone.
